Rendezvous A little room that overlooks A peaceful scene, a lovely lake Became the Center of the Universe For me, a piece of Paradise When first I kissed your lips And gazed into your eyes When our lips met and mingled Words of love, breathlessly spoken While our bodies conversed In passion's language of tactile sense And time, the world outside the door Were lost to me, as I drank in your taste Your smell, the feel of skin against my own As your body became as my own flesh Melded to me in the ecstasy of love With whispered words, like daggers Cut into my soul, found me out Made me a helpless captive, as I boldly ventured in too deep And drowned beneath the waves of bliss That had beckoned to me from afar... And I have yet to ascertain If this is love, or just love's curse That dooms me now forever To return there in my dreams Poetry
